Chapter 180 The End of the First Half (34/15513)
Chapter 180 End of the first half
No goal was scored until the 30th minute of the first half.
This is actually expected by the English media before the game. Luton's defense is excellent, and Roma is also a defensive counterattack as the core tactic.
Two teams that are better at defense meet, isn't that the situation now.
But in general, the scene is still dominated by Rome.
At the end of the 38th minute of the game, Perotta took the ball near the penalty area and stuffed the ball into the ribs. After Tadei came up, a direct shot was blocked by Schmeichel.
Then De Rossi also shot from the perimeter, but it hit Kante who had saved the defense and went out of the touchline.
Roma's continuous offensive.
Gao Bo's expression on the sidelines was still very solemn.
It's really hard to imagine that such a Roma would lose to Basel on the road? How bad was the state of Rome some time ago?
But no matter what happened to Rome some time ago, the current state of Rome is still very good.
In the 40th minute of the game, Luton also tried an attack, Griezmann took the ball on the outside, and then he faced a dense crowd in the penalty area of Rome.
Griezmann had to split the ball to the right, after which Kevin Keane attempted a cross that was knocked out by Roma.
Drinkwater’s volley from the outer perimeter hit the defender and bounced back. As a result, Drinkwater was just about to stop the ball when Bridget came up and squeezed with his body, knocking Drinkwater away. Walter pushes aside and grabs the ball!
But then Kante also came up. He put the tackle directly and shoveled the ball away from Bridges' feet. Drinkwater took the ball and prepared to hand it to Griezmann in front, but Mex went around and broke the ball. After that, Mex directly made a long pass, looking for Menez on the wing.
Menez stopped the ball in the middle, and then directly talked about the right foot burst before Kante and others were in place.
The football was again saved by Schmeichel.
Roma's corner!
From the results of the entanglement between the two sides in the midfield, it can be seen that Roma's strength is still above Luton. Roma has several shots, but Luton's offensive threat is not too big. Even if there are card bonuses, Luton is mainly young players after all. Except for talented players such as Griezmann and Kante, other young players have game experience and personal strength. Can't keep up with Roma's current batch of players.
When Menez kicked the corner kick, Gao Bo felt bad.
There are a lot of players involved in the corner kick attack in Rome, and Ranieri also attaches great importance to the attack of the set ball. When the other players rushed to the front, the central defender Juan, who was in ambush at the back, circled around the penalty spot, and then headed directly to the ball. The football bounced and flew into the net.
Due to the large number of people in the penalty area, Schmeichel could not do anything about the ball.
When Gao Bo saw Juan keeping the ball on goal, he kicked the water bottle next to him.
The angry Gao Bo had nothing to say about the ball, and Roma's corner kick attack routine made Luton unable to keep up with the rhythm.
And it was only at this time that I could see the importance of Sol Campbell in the back line. An experienced central defender can make up for many of these gaps.
It's just that both Jeffrey and George Parker are still young, so I'm afraid this is the price of youth.
The Luton players were very frustrated after conceding the goal, while the Roma players after the goal ran to the corner flag and celebrated in the eyes of Luton fans.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!”
The Italian narrator stretched his tone, roaring almost without breathing. "Beautiful goal!! Roma scored!! From central defender Juan!!!"
And Letkinson looked regretful: "Luton lost the ball, and in this corner defense, Luton's defense in the middle made a major flaw,
They were all taken away by the other Roma players in the penalty area, ignoring Juan who came around at the back point! ! "
"0-1!! Luton trailed at home!!! To concede a goal at the end of the first half, which is not a good thing for Luton. There is not much time left for them to equalize in the first half, And if you come back to the locker room with a goal behind, the second half of the game will not be easy for Luton and Ranieri. Ranieri is a sophisticated guy, his team is best at playing the ball in such a leading situation. ." Redknapp was also serious on the side.
......
"Unfortunately! Luton's defense was not in place this time, and he gave Roma centre-back Juan a chance to head the ball in the penalty area. Luton conceded the ball!! Gao Bo's team trailed Roma 0-1 at home, and now The situation is very difficult for Luton, Roma itself is a very strong team, and now let them take the lead, the game will become more difficult to play." He Hongfa's voice came from the TV come.
"oops!!!"
Chen Lao slapped his thigh.
"I lost the ball?"
Mrs. Chen asked aside.
Chen Lao nodded, and then he asked tentatively, "Why don't you wait until Xiao Gaozi's team scores before going to bed?"
"Of course, come on, little Gaozi!!!"
Mrs. Chen didn't seem to be much sleepy anymore.
......
Ranieri raised his arms and turned around to celebrate with his assistants. During this time, Ranieri was under great pressure because Roma had suffered consecutive defeats.
This goal made Ranieri a little relieved. If he lost to Luton on the road, Ranieri really didn't know what would happen after returning to Italy... Roma's results have been all the way. Slipping, Ranieri needs a win.
Gao Bo calmed down quickly after conceding the ball, and he looked at the time.
It is now the 41st minute of the first half, and there are about five minutes left until the end of the first half.
A lot of conservative head coaches might settle for five minutes and then figure it out in the second half.
But this does not include high waves.
When necessary, Gao Bo is very willing to go crazy!
Five minutes! !
Enough to organize an offensive! !
Gao Bo waved his hand on the sidelines, and then Luton began to press up and attack!
The two full-backs were pressed through half-time! !
The Roma team, who had just scored, was taken aback by Luton's sudden and crazy offensive, but they also reacted quickly.
Roma recovered all the way, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, while Luton launched a crazy counterattack after losing the ball!
In the 43rd minute of the game, Sandro cooperated with Adam on the left, and then the Brazilian dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
He looked at the dense crowd in the penalty area, and then decided to kick it himself!
Sandro shoots directly from a small angle with his left foot!
This shot shocked the Roma team up and down. Fortunately, Roma goalkeeper Lobonte stood firm and he directly blocked the ball from the bottom line.
Luton's corner kick came out quickly.
Griezmann sent a tactical corner kick to Adam's feet, then he went around behind Adam and passed directly to the back point.
Kevin Keane took off at the back and competed with the Roma players for a header, but Roma centre-back Mex was better, and he headed the ball over Kevin Keane's head.
But Kante comfortably beat De Rossi on the perimeter as he scrambled for the second spot, and then Kante crossed the ball to Griezmann.
Griezmann repeatedly stopped and took a shot directly near the top of the penalty area after passing Burdisso.
The football passed between the densely packed legs in the penalty area and was saved by goalkeeper Lobonte! !
"Luton reacted quite violently!!!"
Letkinson got excited from the commentary.
The fans at the scene cheered loudly. The fans all stood up from their seats. Sometimes they sang and cheered, and used the warm home atmosphere to add fuel to the home team's offense! !
At the end of the first half, Roma was almost breathless by Luton's crazy offensive.
In the end, it was the referee's whistle that saved Rome.
After Vardy's turnaround shot in the penalty area missed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
